Chemdawg Genetic is an award-winning cross of OG Kush with Sour Diesel—two legendary parents that have produced a strain equally, if not even more prolific.
A lot of modern cannabis strains have a pretty clear family history. Thanks to the hard work of breeders, we can trace these hybrids back to their landrace roots and the places they originally came from. But Chemdawg Genetic is a bit of an exception to that.
Here’s what we do know. The first documented Chemdawg Genetic plant was grown by a guy who got the seed from a bag of Northern California weed he picked up at a Grateful Dead concert in Colorado back in 1991. The grower, known as Chemdog, says that the strain was originally called “Chem” or “Dog Bud,” and those names eventually merged into what we now know as Chemdawg. From there, the genetics spread to growers all over the U.S. and eventually overseas.
